What Price Glory: 1885 Shirt

[Delmonico]

As I explain it to people, most often when telling them to wear heavy wool socks in the summer and they look at you like you have 3 heads.

"You want insulation to keep your house warm in the winter, but you don't tear it out in the summer to keep it cool?"   When they say insulation keeps the heat out also, most often is the hamster is turning the wheel at all, that light bulb comes on and they get a funny look on their face.

I plan on having that chart (US Government issue BTW) printed and posted in a few places this year.

How about 1 in each of the latrines at least? Unless something unforeseen happens we'll have 5 this year.

Planning on it and maybe one on the cedar tree behind the wood wagon.

Behind the wood wagon was used mostly in the evening and everyone was usually well hydrated by then.

Hi

I just tried on the new wool shirt.  It is pretty loose, but not as loose as the Civil War Blue wool shirt from C. D. Jarnigan.  The Jarnigan is a different style obviously.  I doubt I wear it much this year in Oklahoma, but you never know.  I used to do 9th Texas back in the 1980's, and wool is cooler in summer than cotton.

If you have it long enough, it will probably get tighter.

I hope not, I"m 54, so I should eventually start shrinking again.

Yeah, I'm right behind you and I keep telling myself that too, but they just keep getting smaller and smaller
